The Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education in December laid out plans to return to blended learning if the city remained below 40 new daily COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people. When the board voted last week to return Feb. 1, the city was averaging 66 new daily cases. Some teachers are frustrated with the new plan, saying staff weren t given the opportunity to provide input, and they re worried about contracting the virus. Kia Alexander teaches science at the School For Creative and Performing Arts. The county has, as we all know, recently moved into purple, Alexander said. It worries me that we likely won t be fully vaccinated, almost any of us, before we re teaching in-person again.

CINCINNATI â Cincinnati Public Schools announced on Saturday the district plans to allow students to return to the classroom in a hybrid, part-time model, beginning on February 1, but the announcement has met a mixed response from teachers and parents alike as vaccines remain just out of the district s hands.
While students and parents will be given the option to return, teachers and staff must return, despite Hamilton County obtaining purple status on Ohio Department of Healthâs color-coded COVID-19 risk map just days before the district announced their decision.
